Colonial House Today

[mike l]

Steve and I got out for our weekend hunt and checked on a house we had our eye on. We came up the path and met he home owner as she was doing some gardening. We introduced ourselves and asked her permission to hunt the property. She gave us the o.k. and we went to work, the house was built in 1726. Got a '50 Washington and what I think is a 1786 Connecticut copper.

Great finds! Congrats particularly on the old CT copper

[aloldstuff]

Not being bashful pays off. on getting the permission and the silver. Your copper is fantastic and is still on my hit list.

Great job getting that Conn Copper thumbsup01 With a good close up and a bit more dirt removed, Dan may be able to ID the exact variety. Some of them are really rare. Congrats on a nice colonial copper

Awesome score on the colonial copper and silver GW thumbsup01

[Thiltzy]

sweet find on the CT copper, I bet Dan will ID when he gets back from vacation

[OxShoeDrew]

You have some nice detail on that CT. They are usually dateless (at least mine), but they only made 'em for four years. Nice job!

Mike , very sweet Connecticut . there are 43 varieties of the 1786 coins Mike , if you can post a picture with the light source casting light across the surface it will show more details and i'm confident i could give you a variety type. it looks like its in great shape from what i can see.

It's a beauty | Have you soaked it any?

Terrific finds, Mike! Especially the CT copper! |

It looks like it still has some nice detail on it. I can't even imagine finding something that old!

Thanks, I never had luck soaking coins, I find if I gently use a toothpick at an angle to take the surface dirt off, then hand rub it does minimal damage to the coin.

Awesome find Mike!!! Man, you sure are doing well at all these sites we've been getting. | I'll trade you 3 square nails, a crushed thimble and a plated pocket watch frame for it. Keep up the great digs!

That sounds like a fair deal to me lol

| Definitely nice find. The Front side looks real nice I can see the denticles . I'm sure a little more cleaning should do the trick . At least it wasn't a 1787, that would be a chore finding out the Variety. 141 Varieties must be a Record for that year. Anyone know which Coin has the most Varieties ? ( U.S Coins ).
